In Spate
Her eyes were
a couple of rivers
in spate, tears
flooding their banks,
carrying their light
beneath the dimness
of unwanted water
as it rolled across
the brown earth
of her face.
Somewhere in the depths
of that deluge a weight
shifted in her heart,
that distant source
in mountain springs which
caused the upsurge.
She realized she was not alone
and that a whole sisterhood
was sharing her grief
in planetary pain.
